Rust — High-Performance Order Book
use std::collections::BTreeMap; #[derive(Debug, Clone)] pub struct OrderBook { bids: BTreeMap<OrderedFloat<f64>, Vec<Order>>, asks: BTreeMap<OrderedFloat<f64>, Vec<Order>>, sequence: u64, } impl OrderBook { pub fn spread(&self) -> Option<f64> { let best_bid = self.bids.keys().next_back()?; let best_ask = self.asks.keys().next()?; Some(best_ask.into_inner() - best_bid.into_inner()) } pub fn add_order(&mut self, order: Order) { let book = match order.side { Side::Buy => &mut self.bids, Side::Sell => &mut self.asks, }; book.entry(OrderedFloat(order.price)) .or_default() .push(order); self.sequence += 1; } pub fn mid_price(&self) -> Option<f64> { let bid = self.bids.keys().next_back()?.into_inner(); let ask = self.asks.keys().next()?.into_inner(); Some((bid + ask) / 2.0) } }
Python — Async Data Pipeline
import asyncio from dataclasses import dataclass from typing import AsyncIterator @dataclass class MarketTick: symbol: str price: float volume: int timestamp: float async def stream_ticks(symbols: list[str]) -> AsyncIterator[MarketTick]: """Stream market ticks from IB Gateway via WebSocket.""" async with connect_ib_gateway() as ws: await ws.subscribe(symbols) async for raw in ws: tick = MarketTick( symbol=raw["symbol"], price=raw["last"], volume=raw["size"], timestamp=raw["ts"], ) yield tick async def aggregate_ohlcv( ticks: AsyncIterator[MarketTick], interval_seconds: int = 60, ) -> AsyncIterator[dict]: """Aggregate raw ticks into OHLCV bars.""" buffer: dict[str, list[MarketTick]] = {} async for tick in ticks: key = f"{tick.symbol}:{int(tick.timestamp // interval_seconds)}" buffer.setdefault(key, []).append(tick) if len(buffer[key]) > 1000: yield _flush_bar(buffer.pop(key))
TypeScript — React Hook
import { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from 'react'; interface UseWebSocketOptions<T> { url: string; onMessage?: (data: T) => void; reconnectInterval?: number; maxRetries?: number; } export function useWebSocket<T>({ url, onMessage, reconnectInterval = 3000, maxRetries = 5, }: UseWebSocketOptions<T>) { const [status, setStatus] = useState<'connecting' | 'open' | 'closed'>('connecting'); const [retries, setRetries] = useState(0); const connect = useCallback(() => { const ws = new WebSocket(url); ws.onopen = () => { setStatus('open'); setRetries(0); }; ws.onmessage = (event) => { const data: T = JSON.parse(event.data); onMessage?.(data); }; ws.onclose = () => { setStatus('closed'); if (retries < maxRetries) { setTimeout(() => { setRetries((r) => r + 1); connect(); }, reconnectInterval); } }; return ws; }, [url, onMessage, reconnectInterval, maxRetries, retries]); useEffect(() => { const ws = connect(); return () => ws.close(); }, [connect]); return { status, retries }; }
Mixed Content — The Real Test
This section mixes inline math with text and code. The Greeks delta (), gamma (), theta (), and vega () are critical for options pricing. When implied volatility spikes above , the vega exposure becomes the dominant risk factor.
Consider the P&L for a delta-hedged position:
"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." — John Maynard Keynes
| Greek | Symbol | Measures | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delta | Price sensitivity | -1.0 to 1.0 | |
| Gamma | Delta sensitivity | 0.0 to 0.1 | |
| Theta | Time decay | -0.5 to 0.0 | |
| Vega | Vol sensitivity | 0.0 to 1.0 | |
| Rho | Rate sensitivity | -0.5 to 0.5 |
End of torture test. If everything renders, the dashboard is production-ready.
